The main gateway to the exotic Peruvian Amazon, Puerto Maldonado is located deep in the heart of the lush Madre de Dios region. Full of wild forests, sinuous rivers, and oxbow lakes Puerto Maldonado holds world records in biodiversity for its hundreds of species of ants, butterflies, birds, and other animals. Formerly a center for rubber, wood, gold, and petroleum trade, Puerto Maldonado now thrives on eco-tourism and has a great infrastructure that allows travelers to visit this pristine rainforest.

Operated by Rainforest Expeditions and jointly owned by the Ese-Eja local community, the Posada Amazonas lodge is situated within the community’s private reserve in the heart of the lush Tambopata National Reserve. The lodge is accessible by a 2-hour boat ride from Puerto Maldonado. Opened in 1998, Posada Amazonas is dedicated to preserving the reserve’s natural habitat and promoting responsible eco-tourism in the region. The lodge offers comprehensive 3-day and 4-day itineraries to get you acquainted with the many treasures of the Amazon.

Day 1 : Arrival to Puerto Maldonado & Transfer to Posada Amazonas

• Upon arrival to Puerto Maldonado, you will be met at the airport by a Peru For Less representative who will take you to the Rainforest Expeditions headquarters, where you will have the chance to pack your bags for your Amazon tour. Luggage weight on the boat is limited so only take necessary items for the length of your stay. The rest of your belongings will be kept safe at the Puerto Maldonado headquarters.
• You will then take a 20-minute drive to the Tambopata River Port, entering the native community of Infierno, where you will board a boat for the 45-minute journey to Posada Amazonas. You will enjoy a box lunch before the trip.
• Upon arrival to the lodge, you will receive a brief orientation on security measures. In the afternoon, you will enjoy a walk to the lodge’s 98-foot (30-meter) high canopy tower. You’ll climb the staircase up to the top to enjoy spectacular views of the rainforest. From here, you can spot toucans, parrots, and macaws flying through the forest.
• You will return to the lodge for dinner and a relaxing evening with a presentation on the Infierno eco-tourism project.

Day 2 : Tres Chimbadas Oxbow Lake & Ethno-botanical Tour

• Enjoy a filling breakfast at the lodge before departing on your tour of the Tres Chimbadas oxbow lake. The lake is accessible by a 30-minute boat ride or 45-minute hike from the lodge. Once you reach the lake, you’ll paddle in search of the resident family of giant otters, one of the endangered species in Peru. Other lake wildlife you might see includes caimans, hoatzin, and horned screamers.
• After lunch back at the lodge, you will set out on an afternoon ethno-botanical tour. A 20-minute boat ride will take you to a trail maintained by the staff of Centro Napo, a communal organization that makes medicines from jungle plants. You will follow the trail with your expert guide who will explain the various uses of the rainforest plants.
• After dinner at the lodge, you will have the option to take a night walk to observe the jungle come to life, before retreating to your room for the night.
